Day 25: Black Head to Port Macquarie

A bit of drizzle to start the day, and we thought we’d better get some distance covered, so we aimed for Port Macquarie- over 100km away.  

As it turned out, it was quite a warm day again, and us riding hard along the Pacific Highway was a pretty hot business. 

Lunch in Kew, where the Corner Café was a real revelation, with a prepacked veggie frittata and salad that was just made for us. We met a guy from Rockhampton there who was down helping out a mate who is ill who just couldn’t get over what we were doing - “You are adventurers” he kept saying. 

A little while later we stopped in North Haven to cool down with an ice cream. The same guy comes past walking his dog with another guy - same story again but with two added Staffordshire Bull Terriers. “He just takes little nips,” I was told of the younger one as I tried not to lose an arm. 

In the end we were quite late into Port Macquarie - it was about 6:30 by the time we arrived at our very busy and overpriced campsite.  

Rest day tomorrow whilst Tiger gets his University application planned.
